In Washington, Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s vaccine program, had a $10 billion budget. European officials say it’s unfair to compare the two figures because neither amount is a complete picture of all the money spent on vaccines. But there is no dispute that in Washington, officials had decided that money was no object if vaccines could avert the economic cost of a lockdown. Europe, on the other hand, was on a tight budget, so its negotiators chased cheaper doses.
“Pricing has been important since the beginning,” Sandra Gallina, the E.U.’s main vaccine negotiator, told lawmakers in February. “We are talking about taxpayers’ money.”

Largely due to decisions made early in the game by the duly elected prior administration, parts of Europe are facing a second wave of lockdowns while here in the US we are nearing the end of the dark Covid tunnel.
You can thank your former President for that. I suspect he’s starting to be missed and maybe his over use of Twitter was *a very small price* to pay for effective leadership.
